I'm curious if anyone here has had experience with a news (aggregator?) type site, and how those do?

I've been involved in several political based sites, and they're crap except for a couple of months every 2 years Gotta love election time, but the rest of the time it's peanuts at best.

But I wonder if that translates across all current events/news type topics, or just politics because of the election cycles. I would think most news based topics are poor paying simply because the traffic isn't in "buying mode", so I can't see where advertisers would be paying highly for it, but I've been known to be wrong so figured I'd ask.

Just BTW, politics has been my worst performing niche without a doubt, even with the election cycle bumps, it's never been better than break-even for my time investments.

I dont think there is much advertisers for it. I'm seeing ads like for ebay and junk on your site. Really untargeted. I would not make such a site for earning.

Is that site about reneassaince play dramas or movies? If you do any articles on play dramas look in Google Books there is many scanned copies of books from those periods that were published in Europe and the American colonies on dramas and there free in the public domain. Get the information straight from the source. The old books themselves! lol
